Just got mine in the mail today. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U The corners of the box was a little smashed but I think that’s more of the shipping’s fault. iPad was in perfect condition though. I ordered the yellow one thinking it was going to be a bright vibrant color. Instead I looks like more of a Gold color. I personally prefer the gold look. Definitely not disappointed but just a heads up to the ones expecting a brighter cream of yellow.
I love my 11 inch iPad Pro! It’s big enough for me to enjoy my content and do everything I need it to and it’s small enough for me to bring it with me anywhere! Only thing ai would change is the battery life, that could be better.

Yeah, I’d go 12.9 all day BUT because apple egregiously handicaps the 12.9 you just constantly question why you’d use the 12.9 over a MacBook & once you start comparing it to a mac, it loses in basically all categories except pdf reading imo but 11 can do that

The main issues with soooo many reviews which are in favour of the 12.9” are: 1. The majority of users of that size use it a lot with the Apple Pencil and generally use it for sketching etc… 2. A large number use it in the magic keyboard case like 90-95% of the time. 3. A significant number use it primarily at a desk, rather than on the go. To further delve into those 3 points… firstly unless your an artist or need it for sketching in general the 11” is better… secondly… if your are planning on using it in a keyboard case 90-95% of the time, you really have to question whether a more affordable MacBook Air would better suit your needs, as you are basically using the device as a less capable laptop 95% of the time which is also more expensive… thirdly… there is a reason why many 12.9 users primarily use it at a desk, if you want to be taking it to school, work etc, I would say the 11” is better for that use case.

@@pokepackschill4985 thanks. And do you think the base 64gb is enough or should I go for the 256gb? Keep in my mind I probably won't record videos or take photos on the iPad or is 64gb still not enough?
@@ia285 are you using icloud storage? 64gb is enough for anyone with icloud (as photos and files synch) unless you start downloading tv/shows on it, then that can fill it up quick
@@pokepackschill4985 yh I believe I have iCloud enabled. I'm just wondering if drawing will take up a lot of storage. And as for watching shows, will probably just stream, or at max, download an episode or two and then delete them after viewing.
i think if the 11" was less heavy i'd be down for it. as it stands, the ipad mini is the right size and weight for me, though i'd also be kind of curious about a 12.9 for home use. the fact that the 12.9 is heavier than a macbook air if you add the keyboard is a no-go for me though
i really wanted a mini as it’s portability i find so perfect for fitting in small bags but ultimately i got the 11” as i thought the mini would be too small for split screen etc. i love the 11” but i feel like i’m missing out on some portability to the point where i can’t even imagine using a 12.9 ipad pro unless it’s on my desk
I've been watching a ton of videos about the 11" iPad Pro, the 12.9" iPad Pro, and the iPad Air 4, trying to figure out which one to get, and this video definitely has me sold on the 11" iPad Pro! The iPad Air is nice, but I need a powerhouse in order to get tasks done while at work and in school. Having a tablet that's both portable and able to come with a large storage option is a must, and the 11" iPad Pro is the one.
Why I upgraded to the iPad 11 when it first came out, for the portability of it at the 11 inch, and still going strong today… If i wanted the 12 inch I have my MacBook Pro 13 with Touch Bar just before they came out with the M1 chip hahaha…
Whenever I use the 11 inch now it just feels small so 12.9 feels like the proper sized iPad for me. The only drawback is when I’m taking it anywhere and it’s in a bag…. Kinda worries me. I’d get a Mini 5 just for having a nice iPad on the go that’s not too big and is even smaller than the 11. I actually feel the same about the iPhone lineup now where I’d rather have a 6.7 inch display or the 5.4
Story time: In 2015 when the original 12.9 iPad Pro came out I decided to try to make it my main computer. It worked, even with the iPadOS limitations at the time. I have continued with my insistence that the iPad can be a laptop replacement - and it has more than succeeded expectations. I bought the M1 MacBook Air last year and I struggle to find uses for it. It’s much better for zoom calls, but when it comes down to it, I have 2 iPad Pros with magic keyboards on each, the 2020 11” and the 2021 M1 12.9 - These are phenomenal computers and I don’t see myself ever purchasing a traditional computer ever again. That said, ever since I bought the M1 iPad 13” - I have a hard time using my 11” - it is so much more compact though. I may try traveling with it as my main computer on my next trip just to see, but the miniLED display is too pretty to leave at home for a week. I don’t know. But I have opinions.
PS, I’m retired and I’m not a creator. I run my life through email and use my devices for social media and consumption. I’m not compressing 8K videos and I never plan on it. I’m basic AF.
I’m so glad I found your comment. I want to get the 11” to use like a laptop. I have a Lenovo yoga but I barely use it since I graduated university. Most of the reviews saying you can’t replace a laptop with an iPad are from the perspective of content creators, and they have more use for a laptop or PC.
Great video, I've been really torn in deciding which size ipad to get. I thought the 11 would be sufficient but thanks to your boyfriend's input, I think it's just best to get the 12.9 as I'd be using it for drawing/Procreate etc. I guess I'm a size queen after all! Thanks and p.s. you guys are adorable!
Thank you for your video and insights. I wasn't hesitant about the 11" version until I replaced my 13" MBA with a Mac Mini, then I became worried if the smaller screen size would bother me. After purchasing a keyboard and using it for a few days, the size and portability are perfect for my needs, especially since I am returning to grad school in several days. Again, thanks for a great video.
I'm probably the only one that laughed at this... but as soon as the caption at the bottom that says "yes I'm gay" popped up on screen, I then noticed the title of the first chapter of this video
I ordered a 12.9” M1 iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard last week. Received it on Wednesday and returned it after interacting with it for less than 48 hours. Went right back to my 2y/o 2018 11” iPad Pro! The smaller form factor is where it’s at for me ✌🏼
I wanted to do the exact same thing except that here in India, I cannot return Apple products :( I badly wanted to go back to 11 inch but due to the fact that I couldn’t return it, I had to stick to the 12.9.
On another note the gimbals moves are very fluid , is that follow or fpv mode ? I love the 12.9 iPad Pro but I literally only use it for sidecar and Netflix. Bit too big esp with the laptop
I have paired the 12.9 iPad Pro with the iPad mini 6 and it's just ideal for me. I did use the 11" but I find the mini to be more portable and easier for me to use when I don't need the larger display.
I got the 12.9” to use as a laptop replacement back before Apple Silicon was a thing, when MacBooks had inferior battery life and the MacBooks’ lack of cellular was a much bigger deal. Fast forward to now and I still haven’t upgraded my 12.9” because its software is still so limited, but I HAVE gotten the new iPad mini and I absolutely adore it. It feels to me like the 11” seems to feel to you, except the iPad mini fits in hoodie pockets and is just narrow enough for thumb typing like it’s a big phone. I bring it everywhere because of how useful it is to have a second screen to supplement my iPhone, especially since even the iPad mini has about double the screen surface area of the iPhone 12/13 Pro Max. I even have a CD slot mount in my car for the iPad mini, and while I’m driving I splitscreen Waze and Music to turn the iPad mini into a car infotainment system!
I have the 12 at first it takes some getting use to, but once you do is great. I feel that I tend to be more productive because of that extra screen realstate that it provides, and as a student I always have 2 screen open to take notes, But definitely both great are great devices
I am a systems auditor and used to travel all over the world. Hopefully, if omicron turns out to be a damp squib (which makes perfect evolutionary sense), I will be doing so again in the near future. I will be taking my work laptop with me when I do, but I am not supposed to use it for my own purposes. I used to use a Surface Pro, but I managed to bust the screen when I dropped it. So I replaced it with an M1 iPad Pro. I didn't have to think too long before I chose the 11" version. With the iPad, Magic KB, pencil, slim SSD, 20,000mAh power bank, MS Arc Touch Mouse and a fold-up Twick PD power supply, and a couple of leads, I can maintain my kit and keep it charged wherever I go (in my work laptop wheelie case is a universal plug adaptor), and it all fits in a snug, form fitting bag that will easily sit under an airliner seat.
I just have to comment on all the bad ass retro Macs! I saw a G4 cube, iMac G4 and G3, one of the graphite G4s. Not many people appreciate those old machines!
I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone. I’m looking for device that’s something in between and I’m torn between iPad Pro 11 inch and iPad mini 6. Any suggestions please?
I just got mine recently and I am so in love. I thank you for the recommendation. When I saw both the 12.9 inch and the 11 inch, I knew that I had to get the 11 inch. I am 4’11 and the 12.9 was way too heavy and small for my hands. I’ve been touching my iPad everyday and it’s so portable that I take it everywhere with me!
Finally a review that emphasizes the size difference and shows how they fit into bags, on tables, in hand on the couch, etc. You have my like and sub. Funny enough, first I thought this was a review of the latest 2024 iPads, but theres basically no difference in size tho the new ones are a lot lighter and thinner.
I agree the 11 inch works well. I was going back and forth between the mini and the 11 inch. I settled on the 11 inch, I realized in the long run the mini would eventually be to small.
I still have and use my 2018 11 inch pro with the Folio keyboard. I thought about getting the Magic keyboard or even the Logitech combo but 11 pro works fine and I can keep the keyboard attached to the case and use the iPad in the flat position which you can not do with the Magic keyboard. The only negative to the Folio is the fabric covering on the keys started showing a lot of wear and tare so much so I actually removed the covering. I thought the keyboard would loose some usefulness but so far since it’s removal I have not had any problems typing with it no longer there. I would like to have better quality speakers so I could see myself getting a 20022 iPad pro 11 inch if the sound is dramatically improved.
You guys have a tech dream apartment. Nice video! I’m downsizing from the 12.9 to the 11 for all the reasons you mentioned. I just wish I didn’t have to sacrifice the mini LED XDR to do so. But the pro motion 120 hz helps a lot with mitigating that.
Any idea whether I should go for iPad Pro 11 2021 128GB $783 or 2020 256GB $692. Hoping to use it for the next 5 years for uni studies, drawing and some editing. Budget is kinda limited if I include apple pencil
If you’re planning on doing any heavy work, like photo or video work on the side then the 2021 version is the way to go, but for general studies or note taking, the 2020 version should work! But if you wanna get the most out of it, the extra 90 dollars might be worth it. It all depends on your use situation!
you can offload your old files to icloud or an external drive so unless you'll be doing heavy video editing and such, drive size shouldn't be too much of a decider
I'm a fellow piano player, I'm also studying music. Do you find the 11 or 12.9 inch is better for reading sheet music? I'm studying at university to be a music teacher and would find it very useful to store all my sheet music on my ipad to save carting it all around :)
I went with 12.9 inch iPad Pro mainly because of the screen but to be honest, I'm not happy with the screen mainly because of the blooming issue which is very prominent in dark. And the size is honestly very big and not easy to manage especially with a cover. I had been using my brother's 2018 11 inch iPad for over 2 years and it's size was perfect for me. I thought that I'll enjoy watching content more on the bigger screen. Yes, I do enjoy watching content on the bigger screen only when I'm sitting at a desk or table. When I'm on a couch/bed, I find the 12.9 inch way too big to handle. Trying to get used to it, but still finding it tough. Honestly, I went with the 12.9 inch mainly because of the screen and I'm not happy with screen due to the blooming issue in the dark which is very noticeable.
Just got the 11, returned it for the 12.9 and this comment is speaking to me so much right now. Probably going back to the 11. It’s just so tiring to hold for a long time and the blooming thing is pretty noticeable at times
11:52 Nooooo, I don't belive that these was real in what momeeeent hahaha, im joking im like much your'e apple videos, longe love in your'e relationship and get back to the video...
Great video, mate! I love my iPad Pro 12.9" and magic keyboard. The XDR screen is amazing. I had the 11" and MK for a couple years, but found it a bit cramped for extended typing sessions. I'm a writer with big manly hands and it's so much more comfortable typing on the bigger MK.
As a fellow 2010 iPad owner, I'd love to see a review or love (or hate) letter video with your thoughts. Recently jailbroke mine just to revive the OG RUclips app... which didn't really work as well as I hoped.
Everything you said here is spot on! I’ve had the 2020 11” for a month now and the only time it feels small is when I put it directly next to the bigger iPad, or next to a desktop monitor. I’m normally a bigger is better type of person, but the 11” is the perfect size for a lot of people I think, it can pull double duty as a laptop and tablet fantastically. It’s also way easier to type on the 11” - if you go for the 12.9”, a keyboard case is almost a necessity because you can’t thumb type the same way you can with the 11” or a normal phone, the screen is just too big. If you already have a laptop or desktop computer, go for the 11”, if the iPad is going to be your primary device and do everything, the 12.9” would probably be better imo. Just try and be sure the extra screen size is going to be worth it for you over the money you’d save going for the 11”. The price difference could cop you a pair of AirPods or an Apple Pencil or something, which is something to think about. Great video Noah 👍
Great video Noah, keep it up, I have a suggestion for you. Could you do a video revisiting the iPhone 12 mini? I know the 13 mini has better upgrades, but I want to see how the 12 mini still holds up one year later. I still think that’s a great phone even though it didn’t sell well.
The reason I wanted the 11 inch is because it is more of a tablet size rather than the 12.9. I opted for the Macbook Pro rather than buying the 12.9 inch.

@@pokepackschill4985 thanks. And do you think the base 64gb is enough or should I go for the 256gb?
Keep in my mind I probably won't record videos or take photos on the iPad or is 64gb still not enough?
@@ia285 are you using icloud storage? 64gb is enough for anyone with icloud (as photos and files synch) unless you start downloading tv/shows on it, then that can fill it up quick
@@pokepackschill4985 yh I believe I have iCloud enabled. I'm just wondering if drawing will take up a lot of storage.
And as for watching shows, will probably just stream, or at max, download an episode or two and then delete them after viewing.
@@ia285 i use the ipad air 4 64gb one for school and streaming shows, and it's absolutely perfect for me, storage won't be a problem at all
The 11" called your name and I'm not even mad. It's great you're getting more use from it than from its big brother
i think if the 11" was less heavy i'd be down for it. as it stands, the ipad mini is the right size and weight for me, though i'd also be kind of curious about a 12.9 for home use. the fact that the 12.9 is heavier than a macbook air if you add the keyboard is a no-go for me though
i really wanted a mini as it’s portability i find so perfect for fitting in small bags but ultimately i got the 11” as i thought the mini would be too small for split screen etc. i love the 11” but i feel like i’m missing out on some portability to the point where i can’t even imagine using a 12.9 ipad pro unless it’s on my desk
@@kataxx2655 the 11 inch is very portable
I use it like a laptop and as my main machine, so I prefer the bigger one. I carry everything in a backpack so the weight doesn’t matter to me.
I've been watching a ton of videos about the 11" iPad Pro, the 12.9" iPad Pro, and the iPad Air 4, trying to figure out which one to get, and this video definitely has me sold on the 11" iPad Pro! The iPad Air is nice, but I need a powerhouse in order to get tasks done while at work and in school. Having a tablet that's both portable and able to come with a large storage option is a must, and the 11" iPad Pro is the one.
Perfectly said!!
i have both sizes and am leaning towards getting rid of the 12.9 in favor of the 11. solid vid man
not everyone has every iPad. convincing people to buy the 12.9 then turning around and saying 'oh never mind'.. kinda sucks.
Why I upgraded to the iPad 11 when it first came out, for the portability of it at the 11 inch, and still going strong today… If i wanted the 12 inch I have my MacBook Pro 13 with Touch Bar just before they came out with the M1 chip hahaha…
Whenever I use the 11 inch now it just feels small so 12.9 feels like the proper sized iPad for me. The only drawback is when I’m taking it anywhere and it’s in a bag…. Kinda worries me. I’d get a Mini 5 just for having a nice iPad on the go that’s not too big and is even smaller than the 11. I actually feel the same about the iPhone lineup now where I’d rather have a 6.7 inch display or the 5.4
2:08 OOOOOOH LEGO
Story time: In 2015 when the original 12.9 iPad Pro came out I decided to try to make it my main computer. It worked, even with the iPadOS limitations at the time. I have continued with my insistence that the iPad can be a laptop replacement - and it has more than succeeded expectations. I bought the M1 MacBook Air last year and I struggle to find uses for it. It’s much better for zoom calls, but when it comes down to it, I have 2 iPad Pros with magic keyboards on each, the 2020 11” and the 2021 M1 12.9 - These are phenomenal computers and I don’t see myself ever purchasing a traditional computer ever again. That said, ever since I bought the M1 iPad 13” - I have a hard time using my 11” - it is so much more compact though. I may try traveling with it as my main computer on my next trip just to see, but the miniLED display is too pretty to leave at home for a week. I don’t know. But I have opinions.
PS, I’m retired and I’m not a creator. I run my life through email and use my devices for social media and consumption. I’m not compressing 8K videos and I never plan on it. I’m basic AF.
I’m so glad I found your comment. I want to get the 11” to use like a laptop. I have a Lenovo yoga but I barely use it since I graduated university. Most of the reviews saying you can’t replace a laptop with an iPad are from the perspective of content creators, and they have more use for a laptop or PC.
Did Noah imply his boyfriend is a size queen? LOL!! 😂❤
Great video, I've been really torn in deciding which size ipad to get. I thought the 11 would be sufficient but thanks to your boyfriend's input, I think it's just best to get the 12.9 as I'd be using it for drawing/Procreate etc. I guess I'm a size queen after all! Thanks and p.s. you guys are adorable!
Another great video… happy holiday to you, your boyfriend and family! 🦃
Thank you for your video and insights. I wasn't hesitant about the 11" version until I replaced my 13" MBA with a Mac Mini, then I became worried if the smaller screen size would bother me. After purchasing a keyboard and using it for a few days, the size and portability are perfect for my needs, especially since I am returning to grad school in several days. Again, thanks for a great video.
I'm probably the only one that laughed at this... but as soon as the caption at the bottom that says "yes I'm gay" popped up on screen, I then noticed the title of the first chapter of this video
I just got this ipad, and I love it!
I ordered a 12.9” M1 iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard last week. Received it on Wednesday and returned it after interacting with it for less than 48 hours. Went right back to my 2y/o 2018 11” iPad Pro! The smaller form factor is where it’s at for me ✌🏼
I wanted to do the exact same thing except that here in India, I cannot return Apple products :( I badly wanted to go back to 11 inch but due to the fact that I couldn’t return it, I had to stick to the 12.9.
@@theyeshhh hello, 2 years after owning it, do you still use and enjoy your 12.9?
@@broadwayzjm5257 yes, 12.9 inch feels very good to me. No issues at all.
As a 12.9" owner, I do wish I had gotten the 11".
On another note the gimbals moves are very fluid , is that follow or fpv mode ? I love the 12.9 iPad Pro but I literally only use it for sidecar and Netflix. Bit too big esp with the laptop
I have paired the 12.9 iPad Pro with the iPad mini 6 and it's just ideal for me. I did use the 11" but I find the mini to be more portable and easier for me to use when I don't need the larger display.
Watching it on my iPad pro 11 2018
Thos hand gestures. It’s like I’m watching aess energetic ChrisFix, but talking about iPads instead of cars 😅
That wallpaper is hurting me eyes
Nice vid! Btw if you dont have any space left for your ipads, my house is super open for storage lol
Watch this on my iPad pro11 2018… because of course I am lmao. But seriously I love this device
What is that wallpaper?? I need it for my 11” iPad Pro
I got the 12.9” to use as a laptop replacement back before Apple Silicon was a thing, when MacBooks had inferior battery life and the MacBooks’ lack of cellular was a much bigger deal. Fast forward to now and I still haven’t upgraded my 12.9” because its software is still so limited, but I HAVE gotten the new iPad mini and I absolutely adore it. It feels to me like the 11” seems to feel to you, except the iPad mini fits in hoodie pockets and is just narrow enough for thumb typing like it’s a big phone. I bring it everywhere because of how useful it is to have a second screen to supplement my iPhone, especially since even the iPad mini has about double the screen surface area of the iPhone 12/13 Pro Max. I even have a CD slot mount in my car for the iPad mini, and while I’m driving I splitscreen Waze and Music to turn the iPad mini into a car infotainment system!
Hii like how its software is limited , like we can not download movies from google etc?
I have to admit that I find myself on a train for 3h+ for too many times a year to not enjoy the extra space on 12.9 inch
I have the 12 at first it takes some getting use to, but once you do is great. I feel that I tend to be more productive because of that extra screen realstate that it provides, and as a student I always have 2 screen open to take notes, But definitely both great are great devices
Loved this video felt different
Why is there 1st gen ipad on your desk? Oh no Noah spoliered new video
Noah hope you are sleeping enough and not stressing yourself out. I enjoy your vids nonetheless.
Thanks! Yeah I’m trying. Too much to do, too little time.
why would someone purchase So much tech just for studies????
I am a systems auditor and used to travel all over the world. Hopefully, if omicron turns out to be a damp squib (which makes perfect evolutionary sense), I will be doing so again in the near future. I will be taking my work laptop with me when I do, but I am not supposed to use it for my own purposes.
I used to use a Surface Pro, but I managed to bust the screen when I dropped it. So I replaced it with an M1 iPad Pro. I didn't have to think too long before I chose the 11" version. With the iPad, Magic KB, pencil, slim SSD, 20,000mAh power bank, MS Arc Touch Mouse and a fold-up Twick PD power supply, and a couple of leads, I can maintain my kit and keep it charged wherever I go (in my work laptop wheelie case is a universal plug adaptor), and it all fits in a snug, form fitting bag that will easily sit under an airliner seat.
I just have to comment on all the bad ass retro Macs! I saw a G4 cube, iMac G4 and G3, one of the graphite G4s. Not many people appreciate those old machines!
I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone. I’m looking for device that’s something in between and I’m torn between iPad Pro 11 inch and iPad mini 6. Any suggestions please?
I just got mine recently and I am so in love. I thank you for the recommendation. When I saw both the 12.9 inch and the 11 inch, I knew that I had to get the 11 inch. I am 4’11 and the 12.9 was way too heavy and small for my hands. I’ve been touching my iPad everyday and it’s so portable that I take it everywhere with me!
Finally a review that emphasizes the size difference and shows how they fit into bags, on tables, in hand on the couch, etc. You have my like and sub. Funny enough, first I thought this was a review of the latest 2024 iPads, but theres basically no difference in size tho the new ones are a lot lighter and thinner.
I agree the 11 inch works well. I was going back and forth between the mini and the 11 inch. I settled on the 11 inch, I realized in the long run the mini would eventually be to small.
Yea, and also support for keyboards is always a massive reason to go for standard-sized iPads
I still have and use my 2018 11 inch pro with the Folio keyboard. I thought about getting the Magic keyboard or even the Logitech combo but 11 pro works fine and I can keep the keyboard attached to the case and use the iPad in the flat position which you can not do with the Magic keyboard. The only negative to the Folio is the fabric covering on the keys started showing a lot of wear and tare so much so I actually removed the covering. I thought the keyboard would loose some usefulness but so far since it’s removal I have not had any problems typing with it no longer there.
I would like to have better quality speakers so I could see myself getting a 20022 iPad pro 11 inch if the sound is dramatically improved.
Where’s you wallpaper from love the swirl !
Not seeing your geeky handsome face almost had me pressing the "thumbs down" button. We (I) need to see more Noah. :-) Otherwise, great video.
You guys have a tech dream apartment. Nice video! I’m downsizing from the 12.9 to the 11 for all the reasons you mentioned. I just wish I didn’t have to sacrifice the mini LED XDR to do so. But the pro motion 120 hz helps a lot with mitigating that.
Should I sell my s22 ultra abd buy an 11 inch m1 ipad pro 2tb?
💯 on the 11” - i use this size WAY more than I did my 12.9”. Could barely use the latter as a tablet.
I just bought the white magic keyboard for my iPad Air... it looks like the white color on yours is holding up well lol
Does the iPad isn’t have 120hz ?
I love i Pad 😻
But I can't buy a ipad because it's to expensive
Will you give your ipad
Any idea whether I should go for iPad Pro 11 2021 128GB $783 or 2020 256GB $692.
Hoping to use it for the next 5 years for uni studies, drawing and some editing. Budget is kinda limited if I include apple pencil
If you’re planning on doing any heavy work, like photo or video work on the side then the 2021 version is the way to go, but for general studies or note taking, the 2020 version should work! But if you wanna get the most out of it, the extra 90 dollars might be worth it. It all depends on your use situation!
you can offload your old files to icloud or an external drive so unless you'll be doing heavy video editing and such, drive size shouldn't be too much of a decider
Cant rem exactly where i heard this from..buy the best and latest within yr budget and enjoy it for aa long as u can
Bro where can i get this nice Wallpaper from your iPad?
The give me yourr 12.9....MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! it would be nice haha! Still comments even though this is impossible
Where is the stating wallpaper from
what do u call designs like these
I'm a fellow piano player, I'm also studying music. Do you find the 11 or 12.9 inch is better for reading sheet music? I'm studying at university to be a music teacher and would find it very useful to store all my sheet music on my ipad to save carting it all around :)
I have an ipad pro 2018 with 64GB, would you upgrade to the current ipad pro 2021 M1 with 256GB? Is
Based on your workflow description you should’ve just gotten an iPad Air.
I went with 12.9 inch iPad Pro mainly because of the screen but to be honest, I'm not happy with the screen mainly because of the blooming issue which is very prominent in dark. And the size is honestly very big and not easy to manage especially with a cover. I had been using my brother's 2018 11 inch iPad for over 2 years and it's size was perfect for me. I thought that I'll enjoy watching content more on the bigger screen. Yes, I do enjoy watching content on the bigger screen only when I'm sitting at a desk or table. When I'm on a couch/bed, I find the 12.9 inch way too big to handle. Trying to get used to it, but still finding it tough. Honestly, I went with the 12.9 inch mainly because of the screen and I'm not happy with screen due to the blooming issue in the dark which is very noticeable.
Just got the 11, returned it for the 12.9 and this comment is speaking to me so much right now. Probably going back to the 11. It’s just so tiring to hold for a long time and the blooming thing is pretty noticeable at times
@@sherkynasim I currently don’t mind the size of 12.9 inch iPad Pro. I have gotten used to it though I find the 11 inch to be more comfortable :)
Where can I find a picture of that wallpaper on ur 11 inch iPad. That purple looks so good
11:52 Nooooo, I don't belive that these was real in what momeeeent hahaha, im joking im like much your'e apple videos, longe love in your'e relationship and get back to the video...
I wish my iPad Pro had a good OLED screen.. that's the thing that bothers me about my device.
Watching this on my 11” M1 pro. By far my favourite iPad I’ve ever owned
I finally got my magic keyboard for my 12.9
Are the letter keys the same size on the bigger and the smaller Magic Keyboards?
I love my iPad
review the 2in1 Venturer 10 Inch Intel Celeron N4000 tablet
Where can I find this wallpaper?
Great video, mate! I love my iPad Pro 12.9" and magic keyboard. The XDR screen is amazing. I had the 11" and MK for a couple years, but found it a bit cramped for extended typing sessions. I'm a writer with big manly hands and it's so much more comfortable typing on the bigger MK.
As a fellow 2010 iPad owner, I'd love to see a review or love (or hate) letter video with your thoughts. Recently jailbroke mine just to revive the OG RUclips app... which didn't really work as well as I hoped.
I don’t know which ipad to get iPad Pro or iPad Air 4 gen
noah
how can i get access to that wallpaper
?
Wow can I have one of your old iPhones? Do you have an XS or 11 you can gift me?
Everything you said here is spot on! I’ve had the 2020 11” for a month now and the only time it feels small is when I put it directly next to the bigger iPad, or next to a desktop monitor. I’m normally a bigger is better type of person, but the 11” is the perfect size for a lot of people I think, it can pull double duty as a laptop and tablet fantastically. It’s also way easier to type on the 11” - if you go for the 12.9”, a keyboard case is almost a necessity because you can’t thumb type the same way you can with the 11” or a normal phone, the screen is just too big.
If you already have a laptop or desktop computer, go for the 11”, if the iPad is going to be your primary device and do everything, the 12.9” would probably be better imo. Just try and be sure the extra screen size is going to be worth it for you over the money you’d save going for the 11”. The price difference could cop you a pair of AirPods or an Apple Pencil or something, which is something to think about. Great video Noah 👍
What’s your weather app?
Great video Noah, keep it up, I have a suggestion for you. Could you do a video revisiting the iPhone 12 mini? I know the 13 mini has better upgrades, but I want to see how the 12 mini still holds up one year later. I still think that’s a great phone even though it didn’t sell well.
Great phone with one caveat, battery life…. I replaced mine with the 13 mini and my so happy that I did
@@MF_OXF yeah, I heard, battery life is an issue for some users. But I would still buy the phone.
If only they make a keyboard case for the iPad mini 6 tbh
The keyboard would be really cramped I think.
While the 12.9 is lovely, I much prefer the 11 just for how much more comfortable I find it when actually holding & using it as an iPad.
You have to be ashamed. do not how you folks proud of such thing!!
That thumbnail is super creative 😅
I still can't come up with a reason to upgrade to an M1 iPad.
Very nice Lego sets in the background! Have you built them yet? I am also a very big fan of apple and Lego… and especially Star Wars! Good choices!
Same
The reason I wanted the 11 inch is because it is more of a tablet size rather than the 12.9. I opted for the Macbook Pro rather than buying the 12.9 inch.
